Then MO = (FY a) – (FX b). Note the different signs on the terms!
The typical sign convention for a moment in 2-D is that counter-
clockwise is considered positive. We can determine the direction
of rotation by imagining the body pinned at O and deciding which
way the body would rotate because of the force.
VECTOR CROSS PRODUCT (Section 4.2)
Solution
+ Fy = – 100 (3/5) N
+ Fx = 100 (4/5) N
+ MO = {– 100 (3/5)N (5 m) – (100)(4/5)N (2 m)} N·m
= – 460 N·m or 460 N·m CW
EXAMPLE II
Given: F1={100 i - 120 j + 75 k}lb
F2={-200 i +250 j + 100 k}lb
+ Fy = 20 sin 30° lb
+ Fx = 20 cos 30° lb
Plan:
2) Determine MA = rAC F
GROUP PROBLEM SOLVING II (continued)
Solution:
F ={ (80 cos30) sin 40 i
+ (80 cos30) cos 40 j 80 sin30 k} N
={44.53 i + 53.07 j 40 k } N
